jrmcnaircpt: Get it girl!!!! :-) And yes, totally from Martin! It's a daily phrase in our house. I even made my husband a t-shirt that says Dang Gina! :-) Every time I see your screenname I see "junior Mc" haha. Hope that's cool. ;-)
Stewpll: Welcome!!! Funny you should bring up the gloves; that was my "tip" yesterday. I use them and LOVE them. No callus-y man hands over here :-)
Workout planned: HIIT/Treadmill?/7pm? Baby_Gina woke up mega early this morning so I didn't get a chance to do my HIIT as planned. I'm thinking about hoping on the treadmill tonight. Our ghetto machine's incline doesn't work, so I'm Jackie Joyner Kersee-ing my 10's. :-) SPRINT!!!!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Ladies and maybe a gentleman (not to sure). I hope you are having a wonderful day today.
Welcome Sue. You will love it here. I sure do.
So I got up this morning in a really funky mood. I have been doing well exercising and eating. So I got on the scale which I told myself only Sundays. I can happily say I am down 9 pds right now...I should be happy about that but I think I am not because I dont see or feel it. I know that most of it is water. I need to 50 pounds and I now that only losing 9 is not going to show anything, but I guess I would like to maybe feel it. I will get out of this mood. Maybe I just needed to whine a little bit.. mmmm wine hahahah no stop that Connie.
Workout planned: Treadmil and zumba
Foods planned: M1:Oatmeal, Coffee. S1: Soy Beans and Apple M2: Spinach salad with almonds, egg whites and craisins S2: Grapes M3: Turkey burgers minus the bun but stuffed with saute mushrooms and a little bit of Bleu Cheese S3: EAS Shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Stop getting yourself down when you are doing great
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: I still say take that nice warm Lavendar bath a night. It helps you sleep plus relaxes your muscles.
Positive statement about yourself: Your having a good hair day
Wahooooooooooo, it's Friday!
thomassd, I typically only do cardio on the days it's scheduled. However, once this friggin frigid weather is gone and it warms up, I'm guessing that will change as I'll walk the lakes & paths in my area on most days. Can't wait for nice weather!
Back2BFL, how nice of you to sit with your Dad when he gets his chemo :) My mom had to do it a few years back and one of the things she really appreciated was hanging out during that time. And congrats on the pound weight loss! Woop woop!
Sue, welcome friend! Sounds like you are doing great and will have no problem hitting 129.9 on your 40th :) Keep it up girrrrrrrl!!
Jrmc & Gina, you young'uns ;) You two are killing it! Okay, so now my mission is for the shakes…got it .
Connie, down 9 pounds - hellllllllllll yeah sister! Don't focus on the 50 - give yourself smaller milestones - go for another 5, then another, then another, etc - and before you know it, those 50 will be gone. You are doing GREAT and every time that beotch voice nags, remind it that you're working hard and helloooo, have LOST weight!
I was M.I.A. yesterday because I had a funeral :( One of my dearest friends lost her dad suddenly so it was tough watching her go through that. I did fairly well with the food, but missed my afternoon snack and had a few beers at the bar with friends after the service. Oh, and I didn't work out…eeeek. So I figured tomorrow I'm going to pull a Gina and double up. Well, actually triple up - two cardios and an upper body. My mission is to get all shakin-workout-ugly!
Workout planned(include your time of day): skipping today (insert gasp) unless I can leave work an hour early…but tomorrow I will be doing 40 min of HIIT cardio and my upper body training.
Foods planned: 1. Greek yogurt + clementine + green tea 2. Cottage cheese + clementine 3. Whole wheat pita + turkey + tomato, lettuce, avocado + mustard 4. String cheese + clementines 5. BFL sloppy joe + green beans 6. Protein bar
Obstacles you have to overcome today: My workout. I'm working a full day and then have to get out to my sister's house to hang with my little niece and nephew for the night while their parents have a little fun. I get up at 5-5:15 every morning so waking up earlier just did not sound appealing today. I'll get it all in tomorrow…and this is really weird, because I never would have said this before, but I'm actually looking forward to spending an hour and half in the gym. Not that I'm complaining about these shorter workouts, but I went from at least an hour a day (which got me nowhere weight wise) so it has been an adjustment (in a good way) going to shorter, more effective workouts. Okay, quelling the rambling now ;)
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: Now, just to make sure, is it okay to eat right on a day, skip a workout, but get the workout in, within the next day or so? I'm guessing it is fine as long as you don't make a habit of it - sometimes it is just seems to work better??
Positive statement about yourself: Keep it up…and think of some good dance-party tunes to play with the kiddos tonight (my sister and I are grew up having our own little dance parties so of course her kids love them, too).
E, lately I've added a a longer Saturday workout, which was typically my free day. Just a warning missing days and doubling/tripling up is a TRAP!!! Sometimes its the only option, but it's way too easy to become a habit.
Noted jr. Thanks for the advice - definitely not going to make a habit of it. Like hell if I want to lose this momentum that I've got going...thanks friend!
Hey girlfriends! Happy Friday :-) The only thing that makes me sad that it's Friday is that this forum gets REALLY quiet on the weekend. :-( So if you're around, please check in!
Oh Shorty-gal, I am not a youngin ;-) Am I? I'm 30. I like to think 30 is mega young! I probably shouldn't have been watching Martin when it was live....haha. THANKS MOM.
OMG. I used the treadmill yesterday for my HIIT. Holy ***. I used my speeds from back when I was in shape. Dude. I almost died. I was a little too big for my britches.... (which is normally a good thing!)
Workout planned: UBWO/home gym/3pmish? I took a vacation day today to have a jammie-day with Baby_Gina! 2 day weekends are just not enough! So I'm hoping to get my workout in during her next nap. I'm planning to HIT THOSE 10s, too!
Foods planned: M1: EFL Pancakes/Clem/Coffee. S1: SC/Yogurt M2: Leftover Chicken Stir Fry S2: grapes/string cheese M3: I have steak out...that's it so far (that was last's night plan, let's try it again!) S3: EAS Shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Stop starring at your sleeping baby and get your ass in the gym :-)
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: I hope you are all taking weekly photos! It's the best motivation EVER.
Positive statement about yourself: Dang girl. BFL works! Week four: -4.5 lbs, -4% body fat, looking leaner....
PS....this is me getting BRAVE.....should have put some makeup on this morning....
Great pics Gina! What program are you using to crop/ add text? Do it allow you to put 2 images side by side into 1 file?
I'll be 31 in May, and I was definitely watching Martin during its original airing... though I was only in 5th grade! Can't see parents allowing that today... I think I turned out unscared.
Thanks gal! :-) You're on your last week--I'll bet you look REAL good, girl!
I do all the editing on my iphone. I use the InstaFrama app (from Instagram) for sidebysides and text. It's kinda awesome. I love being able to see my progress from one week to the next! I actually look forward to "picture day".
Thanks Gina. Can't wait to take those final pictures. I have a feeling you'll be floored! Primarily since I've given you the impression that I'm a girl. No worries--- I did just jump in the middle of a thread full of women.
Off to kill the treadmill... 4 more days!
OMG, I'm so embarrassed!!!! I just yelled in shame at my computer! Sorry dude, just totally used to cheering on the ladies....This explains why I wasn't feeling the warm and fuzzy vibe from you, right? :-)
That being said, now I really can't wait to see your afters! haha!
No worries Gina. I debated just not telling you until I posted pics, but thought better of it. I'll try to work on my warm and fuzzies.
Got blood work done this morning. Should have results by mid-week. Blood pressure was 105/70! BP has never been a problem for me, but it's typically slightly above normal, 126/90 was my last reading. Pulse rate was down to 58! Thanks HIIT cardio.
Going to be a tough day for me. I'm in the office today, and they cater in lunch on Saturdays. Then I've got a dinner event tonight with an open bar!!!! Talk about testing your discipline. Wish that dinner was next Saturday!
Here's my plan: I just had an egg white sandwich with deli ham on whole wheat. I'll eat oatmeal and a whey shake about 10:30. Eat salad and whatever protein is a part of the catered lunch at noon. Chickfila chargrilled sandwich and fruit at 3p. EAS Advantage Shake before the dinner. Grilled Mahi and veggies at the dinner (and no beer).
Workout: 45 minute bike ride down the beach road between work and dinner. Nice and flat, just killing a few more calories (HIIT was yesterday).
Saturday is typically my off-day, but I have pushed through the last few weeks to try to get the most of my results.
Love the photos Gina! I can definitely see the improvement. And to think (they say) most of the 'body transformation' happens in the last 4-5 weeks of the challenge. I don't remember where I picked this analogy up but losing weight is like pealing papertowel sheets from the role. They come off one at a time and it is hard to tell the difference until most of the sheets are gone! Keep stripping those sheets away girl, you look great! I will take my 4 week photo on Tuesday. Watch out- I just might post it!
JR - sounds like you have a full schedule, a busy boy! The open bar dinner event would be though for me too. Maybe you can talk it over with yourself before you get there to visualize what a successful night would be to you. I also bet this is not your last dinner event - you will do great.
Shorty - good luck on tripling up on those workouts. Sound like you will kick your own butt. Hope your dance party was rockin'!
Today, Saturday, is typically my 'free day' but I have a ladies wine party tomorrow from 3-6pm so I am switching my free day to tomorrow. Has anyone ever done that? Selected which day of the week they want their free day on? I am only moving it by one day so I am thinking it is no biggie. I just have to get through Mom's 70th b-day party tonight with the yummy cupcakes I just made. Free day is so close, 16 hours and counting....
I did weigh myself today and I am up 2 lbs. It is a bummer but I ALWAYS have to tell myself this is not about the scale number. I am not very good at listening to my own advice but I am working on it.
Workout planned(include your time of day): skipping today because it is my free day. Will get on UBWO tomorrow in the AM.
Foods planned: 1. Three Egg Whites and FiberOne Eng Muf 2. Three light string cheese and apple 3. Whole wheat pita, chunked chicken breast, 2% cheese and avocado - toasted 4. Protien Shake 5. Chicken, veggies, couscous 6. Cottage Cheese and strawberries
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Smelling the sugary cupcakes I just made and stewwing over my 2+ lb gain :-P
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: What do you think about roasted veggies (like butternut squash?) Carb? Veggie?
Positive statement about yourself: I can feel the NEW muscles in my legs. he he
Looking good, Gina!
Hey, all. Have any of your ever worked out on your free day? My plan was to go to the gym today, but not sure if that will happen. I've stayed on track with my eating, but tomorrow might be a better gym day; however, it's my free day. Anything think that's a big deal if I do my LBWO tomorrow while having all my free foods?
Thanks for the photo love, friends! I really appreciate it! Showing them here definitely is making me more accountable.
Stew, I hope you DO post them! I'd love to see everyone's progress. Oh, and squash is on the carb list, so go for it! Also, I totally switch up my free day depending on my life. Normally I would have taken it today, but we have family visiting tomorrow and my Dad--bless his high-cholesterol heart--is bring enchiladas and he likes to add about 7 pounds of cheese to them. Anyway, I'm free-daying tomorrow so I can enjoy their company (and food) and not worry about it.
Workout planned: HIIT. At some point tonight. Not sure when. Have a CRANKY baby around here....
Foods planned: M1: EFL Pancakes/Clem/Coffee. S1: SC/Yogurt M2: EFL taco pasta but with black beans inplace of ground turkey S2: 1 egg, 1 slice toast, tsp Nat. PB M3: Probably same as lunch, add green beans S3: EAS Shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Drink that water!!!! It's so much harder at home for me...
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: Quinoa: Carb or Protein? I'm thinking carb, but it's kinda the same argument as greek yogurt, yes?
Positive statement about yourself: Keep up your momentum! You can do it!
What up CCers! I'm cracking up at the posts between Gina & Jr - duuuuude. And with Connie's earlier post "Good Afternoon Ladies and maybe a gentleman (not to sure)." - I love this group!
Ummm, and G, NICE pics girl! Your hard work and dedication is SOOOOOO SO SO paying off. Woop woop! As for Quinoa, seems like everything I've read on it is all over the map. I made a huge batch for this week's dinners and thought of it like a carb. But yeah, I'm also curious on what everyone thinks??
JR - awesome check up at the doctor. How did your day in the office/dinner event go? I'm guessing you did just fine being you are kicking this challenge's ass! When is your "last" day?
Sue, I seem to find that my free days switch between Saturdays and Sundays - I don't think it matters as long as you stay true to the plan on the other 6 days. And girl, don't step on that scale (I made the mistake of doing so last week, even though I told myself I wouldn't) and was up a pound…but I reminded myself I'm building muscle - the scale WILL go down (it helps that I've noticed my waist has shrunk a tish).
Back2BFL, I've read to get your workouts in - even if you have to make one up on your free day.
My weekend went pretty good. I was able to get my upper body workout in on Friday and I'm happy to say this girl had the shakes. A few hours after, I went to lift up my 8 yr old niece and definitely felt muscle fatigue. Saturday was my free day (even though I was planning on it being Sunday) and so yesterday I did 2 HIIT cardios…wow, talk about getting workout ugly. It felt great!
Workout planned(include your time of day): LBWO @ 5
Foods planned: 1. Greek yogurt + 2 cuties + coffee 2. Cottage cheese + 2 cuties 3. Whole wheat pita + turkey + tomato, lettuce + mustard 4. String cheese + 2 cuties 5. Quinoa with EVOO, lime juice, black beans, corn, red/yellow/orange peppers, cilantro 6. Protein shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Not a damn thing!
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: Portion control has always been a biggie for me. Today I saw these great tools online:

Lavish salaries amid fiscal crisis
The Robert A. Kennedy saga gets more unbelievable all the time. Mr. Kennedy resigned last month as president of Connecticut's Board of Regents for Higher Education — which oversees the state universities, community colleges and Charter Oak State College — when controversy erupted over his unilateral approval of lavish raises for 21 board employees. Soon after Mr. Kennedy departed, it emerged that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration granted him (to be polite about it) an overly generous contract.
This revelation raises more questions about the competence of the governor and those around him.

I am, of course, talking about the hiring of Avalanche heroes Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy. Sakic was hired two weeks ago as the team's new executive vice president of hockey operations. Roy was just hired as the Avs head coach and vice president of hockey operations. For a team that's been one of the worst teams in the entire National Hockey League over the past few years, there's nothing like a big coaching hire to make a splash and bring the team back into the national conversation.
I'll be the first to admit that it's been awhile since I've watched an entire Avs game, partly because I am tired of the price-gouging required to actually watch the Avalanche on cable at home, and partly because the Avs have sucked for quite a while. And partly because I lost interest in hockey, or almost forgot about hockey, after its most recent player dispute. Either way, I haven't been that interested in following the Avalanche closely.
A fair-weather hockey fan? Yes, you could say that, but I am a fair-weather hockey fan who's ready to jump on the Avs bandwagon any time. And with the hiring of Patrick Roy as head coach, I think the time to jump on that bandwagon is right now.
I am not going to sit here and tell you what a brilliant hire this is. I am not going to pretend that I know the first thing about the coaching qualities needed to run a successful team in the NHL. I don't have the first clue. So will Roy be a coach who can bring the Avalanche back to winning dominance in the NHL? I have no idea. What I do know is that it will be more than interesting to watch.
We all know that Roy lives and breathes hockey. We know he's an intense competitor. He's the first hall of famer to take a head coaching job in the NHL. He's a proven winner. He's also got a colorful past. Besides blowing up at coaches during his career, he was famous for his fights at center ice against Detroit Red Wings goaltenders Mike Vernon and Chris Osgood.
According to The Denver Post, Roy has had a couple of temper-instigated brushes with the law, including a domestic dispute with his ex-wife (where the charges were ultimately dropped) and an altercation with a Colorado Springs DJ at a team party that was settled out of court eventually.
When Bob Hartley was coaching the Avs, Roy blew up and smashed video equipment in Hartley's office after he was pulled from a game. As a coach for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Roy was fined $4,000 and suspended for five games for ordering his steel- fisted son, Jonathan, to fight the opposing goalie after a playoff game.
Roy is a winner, a fighter and really, really intense. The Colorado Avalanche, with Roy at the helm, have entered into a new era of hockey intensity.
"It wasn't enough to be just good. With Patrick, you had to be the best or else," Dave Reid told The Denver Post. Reid was a teammate from 1999-2000. "I remember when I first came to the Avs, Patrick and Footer drove me home from the airport. And I'm sitting there thinking, 'This is a pretty sweet setup here. I'm coming to a great team.' And the whole 45-minute drive back from DIA to downtown, all they kept talking about was 'We need this, we need that. We're not going to be the best until so and so happens.' I just thought, 'Wow, these guys, Patrick especially, they're pretty intense.'"
"I think he's going to be great," Claude Lemieux told The Post. "Patrick Roy will adapt to any situation and make it a winner. He's paid his dues in Quebec and knows how to deal with players as a coach. Especially with Colorado being such a young team, he'll work well with the young players."
With Roy now leading the Avalanche alongside Sakic, I now have an interest in watching them again. I don't know a single one of the Avalanche players right now but I do know the head coach. Hell, the coaching move has actually got me considering upping my cable subscription. I am ready to like the Avalanche again. It's a brilliant coaching hire because it generates buzz. It's a concept that I believe is an underestimated concept in professional sports.
For instance, I can't understand why the Jacksonville Jaguars refuse to acquire Tim Tebow. If there is a professional sports team that needs a new buzz, it's the Jaguars. Nobody shows up at their games, because they aren't any good. So while getting Tim Tebow to be your quarterback may not make the best football sense, to me it makes perfect business sense. By simply acquiring Tebow, the stands would fill immediately. There would be a new buzz surrounding the team. Would they win with Tebow? Who knows? Probably not. Would everyone around the country watch to see what happens? Absolutely. Win or lose, Tim Tebow would make the Jaguars relevant again.
That, I believe, is what's happening in Colorado. Will Roy make a brilliant coach? Maybe. Will we all be watching to see what happens with Roy running the show? Absolutely. Win or lose, the Colorado Avalanche, along with its new head coach Patrick Roy, are relevant again.

text: I put a toilet in a friend's house about 6 months ago. It was the first time a toilet had been installed in this particular area (laundry/utility area) in about 25 years. The toilet worked great...that is until about 1 month ago. The toilet starts to flush o.k., then it looses steam. It actually slows down and appears as if it just swirls around. Then after a few moments the water slowly evacuates from the bowl. Where should I start???

April 23, 2013
LUDLOW, Vt. – Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of the summer season and the opening of Okemo Mountain Resort's Adventure Zone at Jackson Gore. Okemo's Adventure Zone offers fun for the whole family. Whether guests are spending an hour or an entire day, The Adventure Zone is sure to garner giggles, shouts and squeals of pure delight.
Timber Ripper Mountain CoasterSimilar to a roller coaster, sled-like cars carry one or two riders along rails at speeds nearing 30 mph. Equipped with brakes so riders determine their own speed, cars glide smoothly around banking turns, between trees, and along 3100 feet of track that twists through corkscrew turns, along banking loops and over rippling waves before finally coasting toward the terminal.
Sawyer's Sweep Zipline TourThis guided high-flying treetop tour features suspension bridges, rappels and seven zipline segments that rise 40 to 50 feet above the ground.
Amp Energy Big Air BagTake a leap into a giant inflatable bag like a movie stuntman. Measuring 30 x 50 feet, the bag's internal air pumps ensure constant pressure to absorb the 30-foot fall from a platform above.
Stump Jumper Bungee TrampolineThis four-station hopping hub combines technologically advanced trampoline jumping surfaces with bungee cord tethers attached to a jump harness, allowing participants to reach heights of 20 feet.
Segway Personal Transport toursThis off-road, guided excursion puts those knobby tires to the test. Participants explore open fields, wooded trails, and even a specially designed contoured track on a self-balancing, two-wheeled personal transport.
Climbing PinnaclePainted to look like a giant tree trunk, this three-sided climbing tower offers routes of varying difficulty. Trained staff on belay help guide climbers as high as they want to go.
Lumberin' Cal Mini GolfEach hole in this 18-hole course is themed with an element of local legend and lore. Choice is the motivator in this course with multiple paths to the cup.

Navy: The Hollywood Version1 of 12
By ELLE
The navy nails that dominated red carpets several years ago are back, thanks to two influential launches—the denim-inspired trio of Les Jeans de Chanel and the glamorous Christian Dior Blue Tie Collection. Kristen Stewart opted for a metallic take on the hue.

While the limited-edition Chanel and Dior lacquers went into near-instant extinction (good luck getting your hands on a bottle), there are other glistening blues that achieve a similar impact. To channel Stewart's light-catching look, try Deborah Lippmann nail lacquer in Lady Sings the Blues, a shimmering navy with flecks of glitter.
Navy: The Runway Version3 of 12
Blue hit big at fall shows like DKNY, where makeup lead Charlotte Willer described the beauty look as "rocker-chic, like Jane Birkin in the '60s." Opaque navy nails lent a modern edge to retro-shaped trouser suits and mod makeup.

For a manicure you can pair with any outfit and fabric texture, go for a solid, full-coverage finish with Butter London nail lacquer in Royal Navy. "Whenever you go dark and sumptuous, make the nail length short, crisp, and defined," says CND Founder Jan Arnold.
Pastel Purple: The Hollywood Version5 of 12
Girl-about-town Alexa Chung recently paired the intergalactic print of Christopher Kane's leather minidress with vibrant lilac nails. "Violet captures the spirit of creative independence," says Arnold. "It's simple yet sophisticated."

Pastel Purple: Get the Hollywood Look6 of 12
Follow in Chung's footsteps and wear Nicole by OPI nail lacquer in Play Fair for a flirty pop of color. Don't want to fully commit? Opt for a base of sheer milky white topped with one coat of lavender for a subtler take on the sweet shade.
Pastel Purple: The Runway Version7 of 12
Parisian sensuality colored the frosted lilac nails at Catherine Malandrino's fall 2011 show, where manicurists mixed six shades of CND nail polish to achieve the perfect velvety hue. "This trend is best worn on a shorter nail," says Arnold, who adds, "It goes great with luxurious fur, floppy suede hats, high-waisted wide-legged pants, and sleek leather booties."
Pastel Purple: Get the Runway Look8 of 12
According to Arnold, shimmering lavender—like Rescue Beauty Lounge Nail Polish in Pizzicato—instantly softens the appearance of hands. Looking for other cool tones that achieve the same effect? "Applying a hazy peach, blue, or green with iridescent texture is also on trend," says Arnold.
Red: The Hollywood Version9 of 12
Classic red, à la Jessica Alba's nails at an Armani event earlier this month, never go out of style—and will put your fingertips in the spotlight. "Like jewelry, nails color makes a statement," says Essie founder Essie Weingarten, who exclaims, "The bolder, the better!"
Red: Get the Hollywood Look10 of 12
Zoya Nail Polish in Gia is free of controversial chemicals like formaldehyde and toluene yet doesn't compromise on decadence. Remember: A smooth lacquer finish is a must when going red, says Weingarten—don't skip the base coat, and seal with a high-gloss topcoat.
Red: The Runway Version11 of 12
At Adam's fall 2011 show, rich berry-red cuticles were juxtaposed with tailored skirts, feminine blouses, and delicately winged eyeliner. "Embrace your extroverted side and follow your desire to wear bold nail color," says Weingarten. "Though subtle, it will certainly enhance your ensemble."
Red: Get the Runway Look12 of 12
Sure to garner you attention on the holiday party circuit, Essie Nail Color in Size Matters is part of the brand's new Cocktail Bling collection. Weingarten recommends pairing the blazing shade with a high-shine topcoat and carrying a jeweled or sequined clutch in a contrasting hue.

Speaking at a Gator booster function last night, Florida's Will Muschamp was asked what Gator fans might expect from their first trip to Texas A&M this September. The ex-Texas defensive coordinator responded with a chuckler that would make any Longhorn proud:
"It will be a very SEC-like atmosphere. It's one of the few places in the Big 12 that I would say that about…
You ever been to College Station? It'll be the only time you go."
That's a pretty small shot to take – and it drew laughs according to The Gainesville Sun — but you can bet Aggie fans won't be amused. (Possibly because living in College Station has already put them in an ornery mood. We kid!)
The key for Muschamp will be to make sure Gator fans are smiling just as wide as they leave College Station as they were last night.

Washoe County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a report of a homicide at 160 Mia Dr. Tuesday just before 6 p.m. According to police reports, deputies were notified by the Fallon Police Department that a caller had claimed there was a deceased male in the backyard of that address. Washoe County Deputies located the body at the residence and found no other persons on the property.
Sherrif's Detectives identified Stanberry, 48, as a person of interest after discovering he lived with Petty.
Stanberry was located after a warrant for his arrest was issued by a Fallon judge for charges stemming from an incident in February that is unrelated to the current homicide investigation. Following an interview with Washoe County Detectives, Stanberry was booked on the warrant by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. He remains in custody at the Douglas County Jail.
The police report said Douglas County Detectives located a mini-van belonging to the victim, Ryan Petty, abandoned at the Smith's Supermarket at 1341 US Highway 395 N. in Gardnerville. The van, a red Dodge Caravan with California plates, is related to the homicide and was sealed and transported to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office for processing, according to the WCSO.
Detectives believe the van was abandoned at the Smith's on Monday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., however it could have been missing from the scene since Sunday. The person who abandoned the van may have left the parking lot on a gas powered scooter. Anyone who saw the van or its occupant(s), or a man on a scooter around that time, is urged to contact Washoe County Detectives.
Detectives are also interested in any suspicious activity that may have occurred at 160 Mia Dr.
The Sheriff's Office Detectives Division encourages anyone with information on this case to contact them at 775-328-3320 or remain anonymous by calling Secret Witness at 775-322-4900, www.secretwitness.com, or text the tip to 847411 (tip 411) keyword - SW. If anyone witnesses a crime in progress, the Sheriff's Office recommends calling 911 immediately.

Guest post by Jeffery W. Petersen
Relax. The rules of gardening were made to be broken.
Yesterday, I had a cup of coffee with my neighbour who does not garden because she feels she doesn't know enough. She mows. She weeds. She hides out from her garden when she doesn't want to do these things. Her garden is her enemy, and she doesn't plant anything.
This was distressing for me. I went out and bought her a packet of radish seeds, "Just put them in the ground and stand back," I said. As we talked, I realized how much she wanted to garden, but how fear was preventing her. She was frightened of not being good enough, and isn't that the most corrosive thing, in gardening as in life?
As I walked back to my own patch of weeds and chaos, I began to compose (or was that compost?) the basic rules of gardening, according to me.
First Commandment
There are no commandments. Just as nobody raises a child by following a child care book to the letter, nobody builds a garden by following commandments. Just accept the cycle of life, death and screw-ups.
Second Commandment
Have fun. If you get a kick out of the exotic shape of a cactus, go for it. Like garden gnomes? Get some.
Third Commandment
Decide what sort of garden you want. What do you want to do in your garden? Entertain, relax, make love, make mud pies or play backyard football? Make the garden you want, not the one the neighbors think you should have.
Fourth Commandment
Look at your space and your time, and come to some reasonable settlement between reality and the second and third commandments. Then allow yourself to feel OK about this.
Fifth Commandment
Think about your climate. Walk around your neighborhood looking at when the long-time residents plant out their seedlings, and what they plant. Don't rely on plant labels, which tend to be too optimistic.
Sixth Commandment
Know your soil. No short cut here, I'm afraid. The main thing to know is whether your soil is acidic or alkaline. You can get a cheap soil-testing kit for this at many nurseries. Unless you like self-punishment, don't try to grow prize-winning camellias in alkaline soil or prize-winning onions in acidic soil.
Seventh Commandment
Look after your soil. Almost any soil problem can be fixed, and usually the answer is earthworms, which means organic matter. Mulch with abandon; you can even use newspaper.
Eighth Commandment
Watch the light. Plan if you wish, but for most of us, garden plans are made to be broken. However, it is a good idea to know where the light falls. Sit in the garden (preferably with a cup of coffee, or a beer, whichever you prefer) and watch the sun and shade.
Ninth Commandment
Remember that things grow. You won't do this, of course. I don't know a single gardener who hasn't at some stage over-planted a big tree too close to something. And be prepared to thin out seedlings.
Tenth Commandment
Trust nature and go softly. Don't assume that every problem requires panic and massive intervention. Things were growing in the world for a long while before human beings came along. Most things, pushed in soil, will grow. And isn't that a wonderful thing?
Tip: Forgive and Forget
When you break a commandment, forgive yourself and don't turn your back on the garden. Remember, you need it more than it needs you.

To be specific, we typically have two or three articles generated by our staff each day and then we print miscellaneous Nevada news by the Associated Press. At about 5 p.m., I start working on our front page and second page. Sometimes I fill up the pages and then realize I forgot one or two small staff articles because I didn't stop to look on our whiteboard or in the computer folder and double-check to make sure I used everything I intended for the day.
I usually feel pretty dumb about this because someone took the time to write the article I overlooked. Thankfully, I have an unlimited amount of space online and can make up for it by publishing the poor little article on our website, but that's not an excuse not to slow down and think more about what I'm doing.
This past week I thought about this when I went to the media event created by the Washoe County School District to mark the first day on the job for new Superintendent Pedro Martinez. He spent the morning at Lois Allen Elementary School, the same school where my two foster children are in fourth and sixth grades. Since I usually drop them off in the morning anyway, I figured I'd do my parental duty and then stick around to photograph the event. I told the children I'd be doing this and that there would be some TV cameras around, which made them very excited. Of course, they told their classmates about it and they wanted me to come take a picture of their class to put in the newspaper.
It isn't easy to explain to a 10- and 11-year-old child the intricacies of news judgment, so I just said, "Sure, I'll come take a picture." It was just easier that way, and I figured I'd work out the details when I got there.
The event started with a speech by Martinez in the library and then he was scheduled to tour a few classrooms so all us folks with cameras could follow him around and get cutesy shots of him with the students. This was the point where I was hoping my kids' classrooms were on the list. I told the school district spokeswoman about my dilemma and since I didn't know which classrooms were theirs, she couldn't tell me if the super would be visiting them. I dropped a hint that maybe I could roust them from their
studies for a minute to get a photo with him, but Martinez had a busy first day planned and had to rush off to some other meeting.
Not that it would have really been practical to pull the children out of class to meet the superintendent, and I know this was the man's first day on the job so naturally he'd have a lot to do. But on this incredibly busy day he promised to spend his first 90 days or so on the job talking to the community and getting their input and ideas. Very appropriate and helpful, but how about all the days that follow? It will be very easy to
get caught up in the paperwork and bureaucracy and procedure until, before he knows it, he has gotten so busy doing his job that he forgets to do his job.
The Washoe County School District has a motto that says, "Every Child, By Name and Face, To Graduation." I watched Martinez talking to a few administrators, teachers and volunteers on Wednesday and I hope he continues well beyond his first 90 days. My two children have a long way to go to graduation and Superintendent Martinez will still have lots of time to get to know their faces before they get to graduation, but I know for sure he will know mine – both as a reporter and a parent. Washoe schools have a lot of faces and names and a lot more of them need to reach graduation. I hope Martinez gets to know them as people and not just statistics as some past superintendents were overly fond of doing.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make sure I didn't forget to do anything for tomorrow's paper.

John Kingsley Heath passes away
To let you know that I've just had an email telling me that JKH sadly passed away in Cornwall UK (with his family at his side) a day or two ago just after having a hip replacement operation during which he suffered kidney failure and other complications.
John was one of the key players in the great days of the industry and we all owe him a great deal. Africa and African hunting wouldn't be a shadow of what it now is if it were not for John's contribution to our sport.
RIP John.

Big-Game Hunter John Kingsley-Heath
John Kingsley-Heath
John Kingsley-Heath, who has died aged 84, ran African safaris for more than half a century, and as a big-game hunter survived many hair-raising encounters with the fiercest beasts of the bush.
John Kingsley-Heath with a stock-killing lioness he shot in Ethiopia
One such occurred in August 1961, when Kingsley-Heath was leading a private safari along the Kisigo river in Tanganyika. From inside a blind (a shelter for hunters), he turned to see a huge, maned lion crouching behind him not 15ft away. As it gathered itself to spring, Kingsley-Heath shot it, and the lion fled. He and his gunbearers gave chase and found the wounded creature lying on its side, breathing heavily.
Recovering in 1961
It was down, but not out. When Kingsley-Heath's client opened fire, the lion made a single bound of 22ft towards the two men. Kingsley-Heath dropped to the ground and smashed the barrel of his .470 rifle over the animal's head, breaking the stock at the pistol grip; the lion staggered. As his gunbearers and client ran for cover Kingsley-Heath struggled on to his elbows to get clear.
"Too late," he recalled, "the lion was upon me, I smelt his foul breath as, doubling my legs up to protect my stomach, I hit him in the mouth with my right fist as hard as I could. His mouth must have been partly open as my fist went straight in."
With a single jerk of its head, the lion broke Kingsley-Heath's right arm; as he punched it with his left fist, the lion bit clean through his left wrist, breaking the left arm and leaving the hand hanging by its sinews. Next it clamped his foot in its jaws, crushing the bones in it by twisting his ankle.
One of the gunbearers arrived, threw himself on the animal's back and stabbed it repeatedly with a hunting knife. With Kingsley-Heath's foot still locked in its mouth, the lion was finally shot dead. The client reappeared, and with his rifle blew the creature's jaws apart so that Kingsley-Heath's foot could be removed.
"I was bleeding heavily... shaking uncontrollably, felt cold, and was likely to lose consciousness," he wrote later. "I knew that if I did so, I might die." Instead, after an agonising and protracted medical evacuation, followed by surgery and a bout of malaria, he eventually recovered.
Peter John Kingsley-Heath was born in Jerusalem on December 4 1926, the son of Col AJ Kingsley-Heath OBE, formerly Commissioner of Police and sometime Attorney General of Kenya.
After attending Monkton Combe School, Bath, he joined the Welsh Guards and was commissioned at 18. Towards the end of the Second World War, when he was a serving captain, he was injured by bullet in France; he was later wounded by a landmine in Palestine.
After the war he returned to study History and Law at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Economics at London University. A hockey blue at Cambridge, he was subsequently capped for England and regularly played rugby for Blackheath.
Kingsley-Heath was appointed a Colonial Service district officer in Tanganyika, and then, in 1949, to the East Africa High Commission in Kenya. In this capacity he travelled extensively in Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and Arabia, as both an administrator specialising in desert locust control, and as an honorary game warden. The most lethal animal that he encountered at this, or any time, was the hippopotamus; indeed a fellow district officer was lucky to survive being bitten in the buttocks after straying between a mother and her calf. "He made a full recovery," noted Kingsley-Heath, "but I am told he walked like a sailor thereafter."
Throughout his hunting career Kingsley-Heath saw no contradiction between legal big-game hunting and conservation. "For much of the period, game animals were plentiful everywhere," he noted, adding that his conscience never bothered him. "My hunting was done in accordance with the laws of the land and permissions were based on facts that supported wildlife policies." When, in 1978, it became clear that growing human populations were endangering game stocks, he stopped. "It was time to make a change, and I did so."
Until then, however, Kingsley-Heath's life had seemed composed of a series of Boy's Own Paper adventures.
In 1956, before Kenyan independence, he was befriended by Syd Downey, who invited him to join Ker & Downey Safaris, the luxury tour operators. Kingsley-Heath became a director, responsible for opening the company's offices in Tanganyika and for making a survey of wildlife potential in Bechuanaland (Botswana) and Mozambique.
As his reputation grew he was hired to accompany many famous people on safari, and to manage wildlife on the films Hatari (1962), starring John Wayne, and Sammy Going South (1963) with Edward G Robinson. Kingsley-Heath's task on the latter was "to arrange for a charging, snarling leopard full into the camera at point-blank range and for all thereafter to be safe and happy, including the leopard." The cameramen, understandably, were "petrified", but after three "takes" (including one in which a wild leopard smashed the lens off the camera) the footage was secured.
In 1964 Kingsley-Heath joined another company, Safari South, in Bechuanaland, playing a major part in the development of tourism there. The work required an him to make an annual overland migration with men and equipment south from Nairobi along 2,158 miles of dirt tracks to Francistown. The voyage included many tricky moments, including the ferrying of a 10-ton supply truck across the Zambezi on a rickety barge. The crossing was, Kingsley-Heath noted, "a time for prayer".
Over the next 14 years he survived perilous near-misses with every member of Africa's so-called "Big Five" lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Perhaps his most bizarre adventure occurred in Kenya, near the Galana river between Nairobi and Mombasa. It was there, in 1967, that Kingsley-Heath and a client were tracking a bull-elephant "carrying good ivory". Once the elephant had been killed, the client and a gunbearer leant back against the trophy only to feel it shift behind them. Wordlessly, they looked around to find a rhino nudging up against the body.
With nowhere to run or hide, the two men were forced to take refuge on top of the dead elephant where, to their horror, they were repeatedly charged by the rhino, a protected species that they were unable to shoot. Finally, as the elephant rocked back and forth under this assault, the client "could stand it no longer" and shot the rhino, forcing Kingsley-Heath to make a embarrassed call to the chief game warden. "Strange things happen, stranger than fiction," came the reply, but with photographic evidence of the multiple gore wounds in the dead elephant, their tale was believed.
Kingsley-Heath, with his wife Sue, decided to leave Africa in 1978. Having run 2,000 acres on the slopes of Kilimanjaro when not hunting (growing wheat and driving beef cattle through hundreds of miles of bush), they decided to try farming in England. Here they played a major part in introducing Texel sheep from the island of that name in Holland into the British national flock.
With the support of the Prince of Wales, Kingsley-Heath also developed a Cornish Lamb Consortium for Cornish farmers fighting against abattoir and supermarket price domination.
In 1990 he was asked to return to Africa, where he was appointed chief park warden of the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda; he later became assistant director of national parks, staying for six years. He continued to lead safaris into his 80s, accompanied by his wife and in later years by his son Nigel, but their quarry on these occasions were photographs not trophies. Meanwhile, at home in Cornwall he planted his farm with thousands of trees to promote the natural wildlife around him.
In 1957 Kingsley-Heath won the Shaw and Hunter Trophy, awarded to the professional hunter who produces the finest trophy for a client. His book, Hunting the Dangerous Game of Africa, was published in 1998.
John Kingsley-Heath, who died on May 12, was the first to admit that he craved excitement from boyhood to the end of his life. "When my friends tell me that I have led a remarkable life," he reflected, "I have to admit having done my best to make it so."
His wife and three sons survive him.

Most Helpful Reviews
We bought this refrigerator two years ago. It was within our budget, but I fetl the Kenmore name meant it would be a quality appliance. I can't believe how wrong I was. This piece of crap started having problems almost immediately. The shelf rails in the door cracked right in the middle and fell off, one at a time, until we were no longer able to put food on the shelves at all.
That took away a lot of storage space. The bottom crisper drawers seem to be made of the most brittle plastic known to mankind. The handles literally crumbled off in our hands and left jagged shards left for us to try to pull the drawers open with. Our option now is to take them out entirely and just put the food directly on the bottom of the unit. The freezer shelf rails are cracking now and I imagine they will be gone within the month. I lament the day our old refridgerator was carted away and this one was delivered. In summary, I would NEVER buy anything Kenmore again. Or Whirlpool. Please research completely before wasting your money. Invest a little more for a quality appliance that will last you for years, rather than skimping and going for the least expensive model to save a few dollars now. Trust me. I wish I had. I'd be better off with a bathtub full of ice.

Nothing beats fresh produce. Still, in the kitchen, using canned or frozen fruits and vegetables can be a lot more convenient—but is it worth it? Are you giving up nutrition for convenience? Although a fresh fruit or vegetable would never be considered unhealthy, surprisingly there are a few circumstances where frozen and even canned could offer you more health benefits than fresh. Here's a closer look at a few examples of fresh foods vs. their canned or frozen counterparts.

Many random thoughtsPosted by Jessica in Fiber processing, Socks, Spinning
Thanks for all the commiseration with my sock machine woes of the last post. Thanks also to those of you that pointed out the Houdini Socks. I've only glanced at the article/pattern so far, but it looks promising. I never would have seen it otherwise, so thank you!
I have yet to touch the sock machine again since last weekend. I know they say the older you get the faster the time goes, but I never thought it could be *this* true. I have no idea where the weekend went. We were cleaning for Thanksgiving, we went shopping, I did some dyeing (which I hope to show you soon) and then all of the sudden I was getting up for work! Huh?!? Guess it's just going to be that kind of end of the year around these parts.
So it looks like this will be a post of many random things. I hope you're ready because here it goes!
Random thing the first. My Dad went to Argentina recently by way of Chile. I asked him to bring me home an alpaca.
He got close.
Random thing the second. I finally got to wear my Annemor Gloves that I finished in the spring.
I'm usually far from the "matchy matchy" type but by sheer coincidence these happen to match the headband I made as my first Fair Isle project back when the first knitting olympics happened. And both these match my winter coat. HWJF tells me I'm cute. I'll take his word for it.
Random thing the third. In between everything else I've got going on I've been working on cleaning the mohair fleece I bought at Rhinebeck.
I wish y'all had "Feel-o-blog" or something. It is taking quite a bit of doing to get these suckers clean but when they are? Soft and fluffy and just amazingly awesome. I can't wait to start carding these into some sock yarn batts for the shop and myself!
Random thing the fourth. I had a local MLA chapter meeting last week and since my other knitting has too much patterning going on I decided to work a bit on my plain old stockinette socks.
Only the toe was done when the meeting started. I love being productive while listening to people speak, but part of me really wishes I'd been working on Christmas knitting. We will be having our Christmas with my parents early this year and I've only got about three weeks left to knit! EEEK!
And finally, random thing the last. I finished up another spinning order.
Approximately 700 yards of fingering weight two ply merino yarn.
Strawberry Rhubarb Colorway. Squishy goodness. I really hope some of the folks that have been getting yarn for me will share what they're making with it. I'm so anxious to see!
That's about it from here. Happy Monday y'all. Think I'll go watch me some football with the boy.Tags: Christmas knitting, Dyeing, etsy, fiber, Socks, Spinning

Columbus >Shopping > Book Loft Of German Village
631 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH | Directions 4320639.949453 -82.995592
Sunday To Thursday From 10:00 AM To 11:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 10:00 AM To 12:00 AM
Neighborhoods: South Columbus, German Village
One of Columbus best bookstores – Neat location, neat set-up. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The selection of books is fantastic, plus they have a nice selection of local authors. They serve in our community. If you get on the email list, you will get an email every ten minutes! But it is all good.
I love this store! – I?m a reader and this store is quite possibly what my heaven would look like. I love the fact that The Book Loft has really captured the mind of a ?bookie.? The layout could be considered intimidating, but for me it was logical in the way that it?s how my mind works, one thing to another.
Best bookstore in Ohio – There is no better way to spend a rainy afternoon than to meander down the booklined halls of this unique bookstore...You can browse for hours, completely forget what you cam in for, and go home with new books you never imagined owning. The prices are more than reasonable, the atmosphere in and around the bookloft is spectacular...You can grab a quick lunch at several area restaraunts, then lounge around the bookloft for a few hours...NEVER have I been bored. I pull up a stool, in some little nook, and read away...GREAT PLACE
Bibliophiles partial to quirky, independent bookstores should steer clear of this shop--or their credit cards will suffer the consequences. – The Scene
Leafy walkways strung with white lights lead to tables of bargain books outside the store's front door. Inside is a book-lover's dream: 32 rooms (one city block) with brimming stacks. Feel free to pet Winky, the Book Loft's resident cat who tends to sprawl lazily amongst the hardcovers, but don't wake him: Winky likes his sleep.
The Draw
Many think this is a used bookstore because its merchandise is discounted, but it actually carries only new books, including New York Times hardcover bestsellers at 30 percent off. The size of the inventory is initially overwhelming, and the expanse of rooms and staircase feels maze-like but it is well-organized. Pick up a map at the door for more efficient browsing. A different CD is playing in almost every room, with hand-lettered signs telling customers what they're listening to and where to find it.
One of America's Best Bookstores! – This bookstore is amazing and one of the only things I miss about living in Columbus. When I would meet friends someplace in college, we would often choose this as a place to meet and browse. When I needed a gift for someone special I would go here. When I had an hour to kill I would go to the Bookloft. And, best yet, when I needed any book--whether I had a particular title or was just browsing to see what to read next--this was the best place to look. The atmosphere is even better than the selection, though. With so many rooms you feel like you are truly an adventurer. Just walk through--you'll be amazed at what you find! Each room has music that fits its selection. And, when I was there it was an automatic 10% off every book.
Guilty Pleasure – I enjoy going down to German Village and visiting The Book Loft. It's one of my favorite ways to goof off. I always find something that I didn't know I needed. I'm glad they brought back the online ordering of books on their website. I can order from work and go pick my books when I don't have time to look around. Very helpful!
Rooms of Remainders – I think the real lure of Book Loft is the labyrinth of booklined rooms you traverse -- if it was in some big warehouse, it wouldn't have half the weird fairy-tale charm it does. Even for the remainder-skeptical crowd (of whom, yes, I am one), there's always some little treasure to draw you in here. You may emerge with a slightly guilty junkfood feeling that you've spent way too much time for too few treasures, but you'll come out with something, and while away quite some time in the process.
